CANADIAN VOLUNTEERS
The United Service.

Canada's army consists of mill
tary force of $4,000 men, not includ-
ing the reserve militia. The force
is sometimes spoken of as volunteers,
sometimes as militia, but there is in
reality no such difference. The force
is essentially volunteer force, COM
posed Of civilians from the towns
and country, those raised in the for
mer being called "city corps" and
in the latter "rural corps" The
amount of drill required by the Mi
litia act for each man is about 16
days in two years. Many of the ru-
raj corps are not called out annually
and do no more drill than that re-
quired of them, while the city corps
resemble much the volunteer corps
of our large towns at home, and drill
annually as arranged by their COM
manding officers. The men receive
so cents Us. day for authorized
drill. They are armed with the Sni
der rifle. In addition to her militia
Canada possesses regular force en-
listed as soldiers, and distributed in
schools throughout the different
Provinces for purposes of instruc-
tion, and composed as follows: Two
schools of artillery, one at Quebec,
one at Kingston, each possessing
two field guns, (9-pounder r. M. L. }
a cavalry school at Point Lewis,
Quebec; and three infantry schools,
viz, at Toronto, st. John. Province
of Quebec, and Fredericton, New
Brunswick. The total strength of
all schools combined, cannot, by the
Militia act, exceed $50 men.

WERE GREAT MEN,
Popular Science Monthly.

Popular Science MOnthly.
An opinion was current in the last
century that our ancestors, at some
time in the past, were the equals or
superiors in size to the largest men
now to be found. NJ. Henrion pre-
presented to the Academic des In
scriptions, in IT'S, memoir on the
variations in the size of men from
the beginning of the world to the
Christian era. in which Adam was
given 1913 feet 8 inches, and Eve lis
feet 81 inches. But after the first
pair, the human race, in his imagl-
nation, suffered regular decrease,
so that Noah was only 100 feet high,
while Abraham shrank down to
twenty-eight feet, Moses to thirteen
feet, the mighty Hercules to ten feet
eight and a halfinches, and Alexan-
der the Great to bare six feet and
half. The communication, it is
said, was received with enthusiasm,
and was regarded, at the time, as a
wonderful discovery" and sub
lime vision"
The complaint about the degener
acy of the. human race is not new,
but dates as far back as the time OF
Homer, at least; for the men of his
day were not like the heroes of whom
he sang. 1t is not confirmed, but is
contradicted by all the tangible
facts, and these are nota few. HUI
man remains that are eXhumed, af-
ter having reposed in the grave for
many centuries, as in the catacombs
of Paris, have nothing gigantic
about them. The armor, the cuiras
ses, and the casques of the warriors
of the middle ages. can be worn by
modern soldiers; and many of the
knights suits would be too small for
the cuirassiers of the European ar
mics; yet they were worn by the sc
lected men, who were better fed.
stronger, and more robust than the
rest of the population. The bones
of the ancient Gauls, which are un-
covered in the excavations of Tumu-
Ii, while they are of large dimensions,
are comparable with those of the
existing populations of many places
in France.
The Egyptian mummies are the re-
mains of persons OF small or medium
stature, as are also the Peruvian aud
Mexican mummies, and the num-
mics and bones found in the ancient
monuments of India and Persia.
And even the most ancient relics we
possess of individuals of the human
| species, the men who lived in the
